2024 Novelist NaNoWriMo – Day 8

November 8th

Writing takes dedication. It doesn’t matter as much what or how you write, but it does matter if you do or don’t.

We live busy lives. Don’t give up eating a meal to make time for writing, but perhaps there is something else you could give up (temporarily) to make time.

Do you have a TV show you watch every evening? Could you wait until after November to watch it?

Is there a friendship hangout once a week you could skip for the month to make time?

Can you set your alarm earlier to make sure you can get a little chunk in at the start of the day? What about staying up a little later for a daily bedtime writing session. Careful with that one. Sometimes you get in the groove and you don’t want to stop – but you need good sleep too!

Finish!

Want an Example?

We had to shuffle around our planned production schedule for The Badge Archive. It’s a free website for leaders and scouts to use as a reference, but it isn’t critical. Some of the projects we wanted to do can wait a month. We’ll still work on it, but maybe not as much as we could have.
